Its weekly menu analysis sorts dishes into Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, or Dogs according to popularity and margin. Listed connections include Toast, Square for Restaurants, Clover, QuickBooks Online, and Xero, as well as labor tools, supplier invoice sources, and services such as DoorDash and OpenTable. TouchBistro, Lightspeed, and Revel connections are labeled beta; CSV import is offered as a fallback. The product runs on web and provides an API, including rate-limited REST access and webhooks for agencies and accountants. Group costs $149 a month, billed month-to-month; Solo costs $199 a month, billed month-to-month. Annual billing is listed as two months free. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available.

Novaryq is an all-in-one restaurant operating system for North American food and beverage businesses. It combines point of sale, payments, kitchen display, online ordering, delivery dispatch, loyalty, marketing, inventory, staff, and accounting tools. The POS runs in a browser or native Android terminal app and supports floor maps, coursing, split checks, and tips. Each location can offer branded pickup, delivery, and dine-in ordering without a Novaryq per-order commission, although payment-processing and courier or third-party delivery charges may apply. Kitchen displays show live tickets, route stations, track ticket age and all-day counts, and support tap-to-bump. Inventory covers recipe depletion, par levels, 86-ing, purchasing, stock counts, and replenishment suggestions based on open orders. Multi-location operators can manage menus, pricing, and policies centrally while retaining local control and consolidated reporting. Helcim handles card payments and settlement reconciliation. Plans start at C$129 a year billed annually for Core; hardware, payment processing, and applicable taxes are extra.
